Contributing Writer: Justin MorenoWith all the fires going on, especially out where you all live, I hope everyone is hanging in there and staying safe. It’s been a crazy 2017 in many ways, and personally, I’m very glad to be done with it. I’m definitely looking forward to a good 2018. Congrats to Clayton and Carlos for making it to the finals… May the best team win. I also want to personally thank Janelle for once again running a top shelf league. It’s always fun to be a part of, so thanks for making it so enjoyable.
For this week’s write-up, I decided to just find various quotes that might have some remote connection (or not!) to each team in our league. Enjoy… Ertz when Eifert “I want to be playing into January for the rest of my career, God willing.” – Carson Wentz MR CHA –CHING “I started my life third and long. I skipped practices. I got kicked off my high-school team. I got kicked off my college team. I left pro football in 1969. I've had third and 15 my whole life. Everybody's had rocky moments from day one. But sometimes you pick up third and long, and that's where you make your money. That's where the satisfaction comes, from the game and from life.” – Kenny Stabler Straight Outta Goffton “If you want something you have to give up something. That’s what trades are.” – Bill Belichick Kashyyyk Wookies Top 5 best Chewbacca quotes about playing in One League to Rule Them All: 5. "GGGWARRRHHWWWW." - A New Hope 4.

"WAGRRRRWWGAHHHHWWWRRGGAWWWWWWRR." - The Empire Strikes Back Ram I Am “I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to.” -- Eric Dickerson Chief Deflater “I don't believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.” – Tom Brady Golden One “We're gonna go inside, we're gonna go outside, inside and outside. We're gonna get 'em on the run boys and once we get 'em on the run we're gonna keep 'em on the run. And then we're gonna go go go go go go and we're not gonna stop til we get across that goalline. This is a team they say is... is good, well I think we're better than them. They can't lick us, so what do you say men?” – Rudy Ruettiger Lloyd Dobler “I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.” – Lloyd Dobler Packing Heat “Pro football was taking off when I became commissioner, and when a sport's successful and you're its chief executive officer, much of the credit flows to you and you develop a good track record.” – Pete Rozelle Kiss My Heisman "I don't have room for it.

It was like first love...You never forget. It's special. It's the first time I saw a ballpark. I'd thought nothing would ever replace cricket. Wow! Fenway Park at 7 o'clock in the evening. Oh, just, magic beyond magic: never got over that” ― Simon Schama

Contributing writer: Josh Caballero So it's off to another fantasy football playoff season. It's as if at a blink of an eye, the regular season was over and I was stuck licking my wounds of fantasy loser shame. I really shouldn't discount the 13 weeks it took to get here, they were not uneventful in any sense of the word. They were filled with winning streaks, losing streaks, surprising wins, horrible losses, good jokes, bad recaps and even worse trade proposals (seriously Dana, stop it.) However, did Julio go off for one week just to improve his fantasy value?! We really did have a race to the finish for last place this year. I've never seen such losers as I have this year, myself included. But at least I'm in good company. And what the heck Tom?! Your team decides to kill it all of a sudden?
Failing Up: A Viju Story. Never have I ever (wait...is this a drinking game?) seen someone be granted so much leeway in fantasy and reality... I've got to admit I'm a little jealous. Maserati's, rolls royces, bugattis, fantasy wins... until now. What do you say to the guy who's been completely MIA for the season only to make it into the playoffs by the skin of his teeth to then lose magnificently? You let Goffton walk on in and take the win with no fight whatsoever. I'm going to go on a limb and say, " Bravo!" Sometimes it Ertz to win. This season has begged me to ask the questions,"Who is this Chief Deflator and where did she come from anyway?!" Seriously though, you killed it Collette and this weeks loss doesn't make you any less of a threat for next season. "How did Clay squeak his way into the playoffs... then get mad because he thought that he wasn't in?"...but he was, then he won! It's an embarrassment of riches. Congratulations on the win Ertz. On to week 2 of the playoffs, I hope those first round bye week team owners haven't had too much relaxation this week and can make it through to the final round. Time for the final 4 to bring their A game to the table. Contributing Writer: Collette Emshoff Week 13 make or break.
The playoff to get, well, not just yet. Groppolo made the BEARS toppolo. Playoffs were the EAGLES flight, til the SEAHAWKS won the fight. Have you ever heard a game so absurd, as the JETS vs the CHIEFS? All I can say is good grief! Really? A child over the wall, to get a touchdown ball??? The "Human Joystick" made Tarik Cohen the pick! (too bad I didn't) We had a TD pony prance, and a break out "dirty bird" dance. Late hit debates? It's their future for Petes' sake! Antonio Brown toe is a go! Eli re-hired, McAddo fired! Ryan Schazier hit, ends up with surgery in Pit. Touch backs, drug tests, forward lateral, concussions, reverse punt; One handed TD catch, free throw, suspensions, fake punt.... Oh My! |
